I guess you missed all the parts dealing with controlling perceptions by diluting needed context with mass content. Flood the information zone with bullshit and no one knows what to believe anymore.

Even though Kojima takes these concepts to batshit bonkers conclusions, he has always been a keen and prescient observer of society. People who played and actually paid attention to MGS2 understand exactly why Donald Trump is president now.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if 2020 threw us some ghost whales in a couple months.

Sir, the overhead bins are simply not equipped to handle the amount of baggage you are carrying.

Antiquated laws and a half-assed approach to lifting centuries-long prudish censorship...

Happy for all the mosaics fans out there.

Same thing happened to Deltarune - and Deltarune was even at SGDQ 2019.

I did. Because I’m stupid.

Some who work or worked for Naughty Dog say they believe that if the company doesn’t find a way to solve the crunch problem, it’ll solve itself through attrition.

I know it sounds like beating a dead horse to say UNIONS UNIONS UNIONS but the horse won’t actually die until the unions actually form.

I mean that should have been the article headline tbh.

I know it’s derivative, but I enjoyed ‘The Force Awakens’, and I’m one of those people who liked ‘The Last Jedi’ a whole lot. But ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ will go down as one of the all-time cinematic bed-shittings in history.

Sounds to me like it makes him her grandfather AND her father.

Emperor Palpatine was gay, and very much in love with Plagueis, JK Rowling confirms.

That makes him quite specifically NOT her grandfather though.

Just be happy that you can now say fraud in Portuguese.  Or at least spell it.

And just a reminder, we have treatments for the flu and coronavirus has a higher fatality rate.

But many times MORE people got the flu. In the US alone, 15,000,000 got flu and 8200 died this season. Corona virus has about 71,000 confirmed cases worldwide and 1770 have died. That’s a 2.5% mortality rate. That would be like 375,000 people dying from the flu in the US alone in a single season.

Just a reminder:

Just a reminder - we know how the flu works. We still don’t know how Covid is transferred... or you know, *exactly* where it came from or what the mortality rate is, or how it long term affects those that survive. Oh and of course, there are already flu vaccines... not so for covid.
